Triton tioy contain, hence should not he
substituted for grain, but they can be
substituted Tor hay. With proper ration
Of roots, straw and grain stock may be
fsttenea rapidly and economically, or may
DO kept in sto:e condition by adjustins

good clover and timothy hay l see but
little use for large quantities OF roots, but
i tbs supply OF such hay is email, If sui.

room and uso for large roo. crop. II,

will abandon it.
